The history of the University of Chicago Mathematics Department - Fefferman, Dean.

nice!

Robert Fefferman is the best teacher I have ever taken a course from. He is also among the finest human beings I have ever met. I decided to go to graduate school in mathematics after taking his Partial Differential Equations class in the spring of 1988. To this day, I often mention him and quote him to my students, both graduate and undergraduate, and even to my children.

can you analyse the Black-Scholes formula for it appears that Harvard can't after their financial disaster with JPM. You are in my ears just now and are talkin about pricing options. james hilferty

Ironically, the University of Chicago (like most public universities) has a quota system in place that exactly mirrors the university's 1930s hiring policies. It's called "Affirmative Action."

He is the brother of Charles Fefferman, who is at Princeton.

I hope I get into University of Chicago's graduate program in mathematics and study with this guy.

They are not "nearly" dead or dead. They are living legends and legends. If only I could be there.

[herraotic]

Everyone he spoke of is dead or nearly dead. Fuck Chicago, Cambridge FTW.
